Word of the Day: Celebret
CELEBRET. A document stating that the owner is a priest in good standing
and requesting that he be permitted to say Mass. It must be signed by his bishop
or religious superior. Without it he may meet with a refusal to say Mass if
he is stranger locally. (Etym. Latin celebret, let him celebrate.)

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
